OpenAI's Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati has announced her departure from the Microsoft-backed company after a tenure of six-and-a-half years. Murati, who temporarily served as CEO during a leadership crisis involving founder Sam Altman, cited a desire for personal exploration as her reason for leaving. Her resignation comes just weeks before OpenAI's annual developer conference, Dev Day. This marks another high-profile exit from the Microsoft-backed AI firm, following the departure of co-founders Ilya Sutskever and John Schulman earlier this year.
